Might we suggest a shot of nature with your espresso?
To truly appreciate Hampshire County, plan to hike our peaks and flat paths, and to bike our trails and backcountry roads. We have options for the novices who don’ t own hiking shoes, as well as for the pros who live in cycling spandex. Bring your own gear or rent it here. Our family-friendly rail trail network is the perfect place to amble at your own speed. You might see the Pedal People whiz by you— that’ s our recycling and trash delivery service via bike. Yes, we are that green. Annoying, right?
Silvio O. Conte Nature Trail, Hadley
